Chapter 296: Leather Clothes
At this time, Rowling didn't want to cause any trouble to Rod, so she didn't make any moves except to hold Rod's hand.
Even if he knew Rowling's state at this time, Rhodes had no way to deal with it, so he could only keep this in mind, and at the same time quickly followed the village chief who was marching forward, hoping to reach the resting place as soon as possible.
This time, in the wind and snow, Rod seemed to understand something, and his hand was equally forceful, holding Rowling's hand tightly.
With this experience, the bond between the two seems to have improved again.
Soon, the village chief stopped in front of a building and opened the door.
Rod noticed that the building was not the large house he had seen when he arrived, and due to the snow cover, the style of the house was no different from the ordinary houses around him, except for the large space inside.
Rhodes noticed that there were not many people present in the village. The number of houses that have appeared around is even less than the houses in the small town I have been to. If it weren't for the fact that there was a mine here, the village would not have been built at all.
Guided by the village chief, Rhodes entered the house.
Inside, the cold wind is all blocked by the surrounding walls, and although the temperature is still low, it is already able to protect against the cold by relying on water thaumaturgy.
After closing the door at the back, Rowling's face was much better, but she didn't let go of her hand, still grabbing Rhodes, while Rhodes quickly swept through the things that existed in the room, trying to find some useful information from the items arranged around her.
Inside the house, there are no superfluous items, only some basic items. The village chief in front of him obviously didn't care much about the environment in which he lived.
Unlike the village chief, who can't get Rod's information, Rhodes has used his peeping eye to fully understand the village chief's information and realize the approximate level of the village chief's strength.
According to the rank level corresponding to the attributes, the strength of the village chief should be around the third order, and with this level of opponent, Rhodes has killed I don't know how many. Although the strength of this village chief was completely inferior to his own, Rhodes still did not let down his vigilance.
The village chief also knew this, and when he first introduced himself to Rod, he deliberately revealed his other identity, that is, as Elon's bodyguard. This also means that this entire mining village can be regarded as a subsidiary of Silver Cliff City. If Rhodes wanted to attack the mining village, he would be retaliated against by Silvercliff.
However, Rhodes had no intention of attacking this place, just wanted to get a plan to get to Silvercliff City, whether it was a map or any other means.
Although Rhodes was able to let the ghost dragon scout in the sky and get the location of Silvercliff City, the mage was extremely sensitive to this perception, and Rhodes couldn't be sure if the ghost dragon would have been noticed by Elon when he first discovered Silvercliff City.
If Elon had discovered the existence of the ghost dragon in advance, he would have been more wary of Rhodes when he came into contact with him, in case Rhodes had some other purpose in coming.
Therefore, Rhodes can only find other ways to get to Silvercliff City. This village here provides Rhodes with such an opportunity.
As if noticing Rowling's face behind her, the village chief, after entering the house, rummaged around, found a wide leather coat, and said:
"Powerful mage, if you don't dislike it, this is the reward I once received from Count Elron, and I haven't worn it a few times myself, as compensation for the offense."
Without saying anything, Rod took it with one hand and examined it in his hand.
The craftsmanship of this leather garment is not very sophisticated, but the leather has been simply treated, and it is not very attractive in appearance, and it does not reflect the gorgeous characteristics of human clothing, but it is undeniable that this leather garment has a good warmth effect.
Similarly, this leather coat is not a treasure and cannot carry any attribute effects, but it solves a major problem that Rhodes faces.
After handing over the leather coat to Rod, the village chief stepped aside. Seeing this move of the village chief, Rod turned around and draped his leather coat over Rowling.
The leather coat was wide enough to envelop Rowling's entire body. When she put on the leather coat and the water thaumaturgy that she had maintained, Rowling no longer felt cold.
After solving the problem, Rhodes looked back at the village chief in front of him.
Rhodes knew that the village chief's move obviously had his intentions, if he just wanted to get his forgiveness, because he had already apologized before, he didn't need to take out other items to give to himself.
As for saying that the village chief simply saw that Rowling felt cold, so he took the initiative to give him the leather coat, Rod felt that there was no such possibility. Rhodes didn't know how long the village chief had followed Elon, but he clearly understood what was going on between the mages.
Through the few thoughts that flashed through the village chief's mind, Rhodes noticed that the village chief seemed to have something to ask him, but he had no intention of speaking now.
At the same time, Rhodes found that the things that the village chief wanted to ask about seemed to be related to something he was familiar with.
After discovering this, Rod stopped waiting and said to the village chief:
"This trip is in a hurry, and the things that are sorted out are not complete, thank you for providing the leather clothes."
The village chief shook his head, signaling that it was nothing.
"We're going to go to Silver Cliff City, I wonder if the village chief has any good suggestions?"
"Mages from afar, if you want to go to Silvercliff City, when this blizzard is over, the people in charge of collecting ore from Silvercliff City will arrive, and you can leave with them. Of course, I also have a map here if you need it. ”
After listening to Rod's questioning, the village chief answered the question in detail.
After answering Rod's question, noticing Rod's thoughtful expression, the village chief saw that the time was ripe, took out a small box from the rear, and asked Rod:
"Mage from afar, you may not know the situation in our village, this village was established based on Silver Cliff City, responsible for providing some precious minerals to Silver Cliff City, and the location where you live should also exist in this kind of village."
The village chief didn't think of Rhodes as a necromancer, after all, the necromancer's location was too far away. Due to the fact that Rhodes did not prepare the leather coat to protect against the cold, coupled with Rhodes's previous statements, the existence only believed that Rhodes was a mage in the territory of Erathia and came to Bracada to refine his spells.
In order to let Rhodes understand the situation in the town, the village chief completely revealed the background of the town, and this was also consistent with Rhodes' previous judgment.
